The Big Connection

Each year, Salvationists and friends of The Salvation Army fundraise for the Big Connection (formerly known as the Big Collection) to support our social work projects.

Now more than ever people are struggling financially and rely on the work of The Salvation Army. This includes supporting people who are experiencing homelessness, providing specialist support for adult survivors of modern slavery, caring for older people in our residential care homes, and offering tailored support to help people become job-ready through Employment Plus.

The appeal runs throughout the year so you can fundraise when it best suits you!

If you would like to try door-to-door fundraising, special permits for representatives of The Salvation Army are already in place and these collections can take place in September.

For further information, please speak to your corps officer or local leader, or email territorial.appeals@salvationarmy.org.uk.

There are so many ways that you can fundraise.

Many corps arrange collecting days on high streets and supermarkets, while individuals and groups organise social events, coffee mornings and bake sales or take part in sporting events and challenges. Gather a group in your corps who are keen to fundraise together.

You might choose to:

Challenge yourself or get some friends together to run, skydive or cycle
Organise a Team Sally Army Big Tea Party
Ask friends and family to donate to the Big Connection instead of giving a birthday gift
